Question 28: How old was the deceased person?
This question refers to the age of the deceased when the death occurred. In order to get the correct age, ask for the date of birth and the date of death.
Remember to fill the age using two digits and shade the corresponding places. For example, if the deceased was 5 years old, then write and shade the code "05", or [if the deceased was] 42 years old, write and shade the code "42"; and so on. If the deceased was younger than one year, write and shade the code "00". And if the deceased was older than 97 years, then write and shade the code "97".

[Illustration for question 28 is omitted]
Every questionnaire has six columns for six deceased people from the same household. If there are more than six deaths that occurred, then use another questionnaire to fill the rest of the deaths. When using another questionnaire, do not forget to shade the place that shows that an additional questionnaire was used in that household.
This part is on the first page of the questionnaire. If you find such a situation, do not fill part "G" and "H" in the first questionnaire; those will be filled in the last questionnaire since they are about the whole household and total number of people. Do not forget to write and shade the identification code and household number in the extra questionnaires used so that the death statistics can be linked to the household and enumeration area they relate to.
